It is very fitting that Famous Seamus and Seantastic, the Lords of Strut, should address their West Australian audience as the “people of Pert”.

Fighting daddy and mummy issues armed with just a g-string and a few gold lamé bomber jackets, these Irish brothers are all about pushing the boundaries of taste and vulgarity with their “pertness”.

Cork performers Cian Kinsella and Cormac Mohally combine comedic theatrics with dance and acrobatics as they take on the persona of celebrity-obsessed but frightfully socially impaired brothers.

Equal parts camp and chav, their on-stage antics can be best described as something out of the TV series My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, combined perhaps with the floor action on a Wednesday night at the Court Hotel.

Lords of Strut are not for those who cannot deal with the constant threat of seeing a man’s testicles through holographic hot pants.

Trained clowns and seasoned street and fringe performers, Kinsella and Mohally tick all the boxes when it comes to taking the “Mickey” out of “glam” culture: keytars, George Michael, elaborate sportswear, leopard-print skater belts, shaved sections of hair and a rather pelvic-oriented smoke-machine routine.

The constant bickering over which brother makes a “great kisser and an international man” and a rather drawn out karaoke-come-calisthenics version of Total Eclipse of the Heart might have become exhausting if it wasn’t for the eccentric lack of predictability possessed by the talented duo.

The characters of Sean and Seamus are clearly a nod to contemporary society’s self-obsession, namely grandiose deodorant advertisements. Yet what was striking about Kinsella and Mohally’s performance was the immense interest they had in their audience. It was truly touching to feel like the surrogate parents they longed to impress, plied constantly with 90s dance hits and lots of splits in a far more skillful way than any lounge room routine.

Begging the audience to come on tour and “be famous with us”, this pair make for a performance that highlights and amplifies everything that fringe is about. Not least of all the moment where Famous Seamus uses personal lubricant as lipstick.
